We are always on the lookout for yummy new products that meet the needs of so many. This product find is one of my new favorites! I have always had a fond love for cream cheese, on just about anything lol, but these days it’s usually on a raw veggie, grain free crackers, or whipped up into a fun topping or icing for a paleo-inspired dessert!

This particular cream cheese is extra special because it’s dairy free, it’s made from almond milk and can therefore meet the needs of all the vegans, vegetarians, paleo-enthusiast, and dairy-sensitive individuals. So next time you are at your local health food store take a peek in their dairy alternative/cream cheese section and see if they carry this delicious product. Here’s the details on it:

Xylitol- an alternative sweetener

When using xylitol in recipes you need to be careful what type of xylitol you get. You want to get a xylitol made from 100% birch bark. My favorite brand is Ultimate life’s “the ultimate sweetener.” It can be purchased through Luckyvitamin.com at a good price. Xylitol is good to use in baking recipes because it substitutes more equally to sugar. Typically if a recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of sugar you would use a 1/4 cup xylitol as a replacement.

I still prefer pure Stevia as the number one sweet alternative, however Stevia is difficult sometimes to bake with. So xylitol is another option…

A few warnings with xylitol, animals can NOT have it so please keep it away from your pets. Also, some people experience stomach sensitivity to xylitol, if you do you would not want to consume it.

I absolutely LOVE this new Cellular Healing Diet recipe, and so does my 7 year old daughter. She is still amazed that you cannot even taste the black beans in it. It’s so easy to make too! If you have a vitamix, throw all the ingredients in and blend on medium until well mixed.

Black Bean Brownies:
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 cup raw organic cocoa powder
4 Tbls organic coconut oil
1/2 cup xylitol
2 tsp stevia powder
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
3 large organic free range eggs
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder (recommend Paleomeal)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup water

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients together. Grease brownie pan with a little coconut oil. Pour mixture into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

*Can add chopped organic walnuts or pecans on top or organic dark chocolate shavings for extra flavor! Enjoy!!!
